Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, v3, by Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne, by Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourienne (1769 - 1834)

This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/memoirs-of-napoleon-vol-3-by-louis-antoine-fauvelet-de-bourrienne/
Memoirs written by Napoleon's private secretary, "a work based on years of intimate friendship and professional association." (Summary by Gillian Hendrie and Wikipedia)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3553/

Target completion date: 2021-12-30

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I'll be glad to set this up for you. Be right back with the MW.

Update: The MW is up. I'm using the same format as for the previous volume.

Gillian, when another section is ready for PL, you can go ahead and post a message to Listeners Wanted, as last time. :)

Proof-Listener(s)

-

Please note that I have sometimes read the footnotes (especially the longer ones) at the end of the paragraph or a suitable sentence, rather than exactly where the footnote marker occurs, where I felt the listener would be likely to have difficult to follow the 'hanging phrase' returned to.

Hi there - new volunteer here so I'm not positive I'm doing everything in the right order. I'd be happy to PL Chapter XV later today assuming it's still needed/available. Please let me know.

Hi - in case I wasn't clear in the first post, I'll wait for a response before PLing anything, just to be sure it's OK. I'm assuming the BC is on vacation or otherwise occupied so I'll look for another project to PL but I'd be happy to come back to this one anytime, just let me know if I can be assigned PL for Chapter XV (or the next available chapter) and I'd be happy to do it.
Thanks,
Sonya

Hi Sonya,

Yes, it looks like the reader hasn't yet seen your message. It's a good idea to wait for her response before PLing. :)

Thanks,

Hi. Yes, I was away for a week with extremely limited internet access.
Thank you for volunteering. Please go ahead. Be as thorough as you can - I like it to be as 'right' as possible.
Thanks again.
